National Forest Regulation
The rules below may or may not be current. At the time of
this writing, they were written and explained as clearly and
accurately as possible. The information below is offered
'as is' with no warranties expressed or implied.
To check on current national forest regulation, please contact
the USDA Forest
Service or the Boulder Ranger Disctrict at 303-541-2500.
- Hunting and discharging firearms in national forest is
legal. Because paintball markers fall under the 'firearms'
category, paintball is also legal in national forest.
- Firearm regulation in national forest dictates that you
must be at least 150 yards from any structure.
- A road is considered a 'structure' so be sure to not fire
your marker from the road (you wouldn't want to attract
attention this way either).
- Access to public land
- County roads are considered public and you may travel
along them (car or foot) regardless of whether it's
adjacent to public land or not. Public access is granted
on county roads through private land (regardless of
whether the land owners like it or not). County roads
are denoted on maps by diamond-like numbering or ovals
in some cases.
- Forest service roads are usually denoted by rectangles
(vertical or horizontal). Forest service roads through
private land are considered private and you MAY not
have any rights to travel through them if they travel
through private land. Watch for signs and caution!
